Life Poem
©2004 Douglas Brett

As my emotions
Lie flat on the table
With little ripples and curves
An ocean wave
Stories high
With foam-filled suds
A thunderous applause
Lands beneath my chin
Reflections of regrets
It could be simple to forget
The lessons never over
Beneath the lowest drawer
One hides the darkest secrets
Undercovers, warm and asleep
To disappear for a moment
A feather in the eddy
Of a gentle wind
Its ok to feel this life
